    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing differential mobility spectrometer (DMS) which includes decreasing the amount of time that ions spend inside fringing fields generated by the DMS. The apparatus includes an entrance electrode plate sealingly engaged to the entrance of the DMS, and is electrically separated from the parallel plate electrodes of the DMS, the entrance electrode plate has an aperture for allowing the traversal of ions into the DMS; wherein the cross-sectional area of the aperture is less than the cross-sectional area of the ion path, the ion path being located between the two parallel plate electrodes of the DMS. The entrance electrode plate may also have a focusing potential applied to it for focusing of ions.

    Abstract: In accordance with various aspects of the present teachings, methods and systems for differential mobility spectrometry are provided herein for simultaneously applying a plurality of SV/CV combinations to subsets of a population of ions generated by one or more ion sources. In various aspects, DMS devices in accordance with the present teachings can provide multiple channels (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or more) for operating in parallel and within which different electrical fields can be generated for filtering sample ions within those channels based on the characteristic mobilities of the ions within each channel. In this manner, devices and methods in accordance with the present teachings can, in various aspects, enable improved duty cycle, increased throughput, decreased sample consumption, increased sensitivity for a plurality of ions of interest, and/or increased resolution.
